Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Los Blancos have not lost any of their last 14 home games against Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga.

Real Madrid are set to host Rayo Vallecano on matchday 27 of the LaLiga 2024-25 season. Carlo Ancelotti’s men are third in the Spanish league table, having won 16 of their 26 league matches. The visitors on the other hand are in seventh place with nine wins in the same number of matches.

Real Madrid will be at home but they will be under pressure as they lost their last league game against Real Betis after dropping a lacklustre performance. Los Blancos will be looking to come back to winning ways.

Players to Watch

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

The Frenchman is the top goal scorer for Real Madrid in the LaLiga this season and is also in the Golden Boot race alongside Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski, who is currently at the top. Mbappe has not scored a single goal for his side in the last couple of games but here is a wide chance for him to do so.

Alvaro Garcia (Rayo Vallecano)

The 32-year-old Spaniard is going to play a vital role for Rayo Vallecano’s attack in the absence of a couple of players on the attacking front. Although Alvaro Garcia has only been able to score a single goal for his side in the last five matches, his experience will surely come into play for Rayo Vallecano.
